Marais Takes From Scheepers
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Gideon Scheepers raised to 3,200 and once Jacques Marais called in the small blind, he jokingly invited Theuns Prinsloo in the big blind to call as well as he'd be "certain to win". Prinsloo made the call and the blinds checked the A♠A♦9♣ flop. Scheepers continued for 5,000 and Marais came along, Prinsloo folded.
Both then checked the 9♥ turn and 10♠ river. "Well, my pair is kinda counterfitted," Scheepers sighed as he flashed the 5♠5♥. Marais had the A♣5♣ and won the pot.
"Thank god the five didn't come or I would lose all my chips," Scheepers added.
